by Solo, 2015

About the Collection

SOLO is here once again to give us a nostalgic dose of its Pinoy Cartoonist Memorabilia Series which debuted in 2010. Every year, Solo brings us back to the days when komiks used to be a huge part of entertainment of most Pinoys.

Following the success of the past highly praised collections comes the 6th installment of the series. This time, Solo features Roni Santiago’s Baltic and Co., a hilarious pinoy comic strip about a hot-headed boss “Baltic” and his employees and also the longest running Filipino comic strip. Created by Roni Santiago in the 1970s, it is still ongoing and serialized in Manila Bulletin right up to this day.

Reading the comic strip, you’ll meet the entertaining characters from Mr. Baltic the boss, Miss Tapia the cashier, Mr. Golem the accountant, Tom and Bong, clerks, down to Dyani the janitor. Their jokes are based on the day to day office scene humor that captures what really happens in real life.

This fun and comical collection is composed of collared tees decked in all over prints, humorously drawn characters and some amusing comic strip scenes. Solo also offers graphic tees, dresses, bottoms and matching His and Hers couple shirts in eye-catching and fun prints that everyone, especially the youth, will definitely enjoy. Cool gift items also available for the holidays!
